SeaWorld Orlando has revealed Extermination Order, a new scare zone for Howl-O-Scream 2026.

The zone's story begins after insects take over the streets. Extermination crews arrive to clear the infestation, then decide that the guests are the pests.

One of six scare zones

SeaWorld Orlando says the 2026 event will include six scare zones, five haunted houses, two roaming hordes, themed bars, live entertainment and nighttime rides.

Howl-O-Scream runs on select nights from September 11 through October 31. It is a separately ticketed event aimed at mature audiences.
